While a number of social entrepreneurship programs exist in the country, there are many roadblocks to it being adopted as a mainstream option by youth. Working for social change is not considered an option because career opportunities in the mainstream are more inviting and less risky. Social pressures, limited access to resources, both financial and non-financial, as well as lack of avenues to develop their capacities are some of the many challenges that young social changemakers face. To reap the benefit of youth social entrepreneurship at scale it is imperative that we create a cross-sectoral platform – a Youth Centric Consortium comprising like hearted social capital investors committed to co-building and nurturing empowered Social Entrepreneurs.  Pravah, ComMutiny-The Youth Collective and UNFPA have come together in partnership to support  this consortium, which will include mentors, youth led and youth centric organisations, policy makers/influencers and investors (corporates, Trusts and Foundations, UN agencies, Commonwealth Youth Workers Association (CYWA), Government and High Networth Individuals).
